UHF: 2 radios transmitting at the same time ?

Sorry, senior moment, take out the unless. Granddaughters are lovely but I'm easily distracted.

Where did you get that theory from? Never heard it myself.

Its on the internet, it MUST be true

Bonz
I have never read such a load of crap in all my life.It is this sort of misinformation that only confuses people new to radio and does nothing to enhance their enjoyment.Inline fuses and failsafe disconnect??.I dont know what failsafe disconnect means but fuses in line protect the radio from dills blowing radios to bits. Do yourself a favour and read up on the subject.Cheers and with your permission may I publish your reply in our local Amateur Radio Newsletter. Snake and Josie

hahahahaha of course you can publish it in your local radio newsletter if you think that your members will learn a thing or two. You have my express permission to republish my intentioned waffle.

If you don't know what a failsafe disconnect is then how can you refute its accuracy or otherwise? I have read up on the subject for many years and have come to the opinion that if someone cant see a tongue in cheek reply amongst all the others that profess to speak the truth then they will probably sus it out when the aysk for a failsafe disconnect at their local Dick Smith's.

Hey Bonz

I have been waiting for someone to spell the sound of white noise.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Regards to the family.

Cheers Steve.

"and have come to the opinion that if someone cant see a tongue in cheek reply amongst all the others that profess to speak the truth then they will probably sus it out when the aysk for a failsafe disconnect at their local Dick Smith's."

A lot of people asking these questions do not have enough knowledge to sort the smart comments from the the accurate ones. Members like you with your verbal diarrhoea who insert your smart comments in as many threads end up not being particularly funny and disturb these threads. There are too many threads with the first few replies posted by your type just hanging around who think you are funny.

Thanx PeterD, I do take your comments on board but I very much doubt that people can't sort the wheat from the chaff. If mine was the only comment you may have a point, but how is my comment any different that someone saying you should run 50PSI on the gibber roads around Innamincka (which I have seen before) in a group of replies to the obvious contrary. Come on mate, I know it was a smart comment, it was constructed in that manner. And if they couldn't sort it then what, it wasn't like I was professing that they do something in a life threatening manner or something that was going to break the bank, like everything on here its all part of the research into things, some of which is waffle, some of which is gold (like my reply to the PDA issue with navigators which it appears does not fall into the verbal diarrhoea basket). Surely you don't take everything here as gospel mate, you'd have five different tyres on your car at 5 different pressures, four different fridges, six different cars, eight different swags etc etc etc. All that waffle said I do take your point as I said and will be very careful in future when I crap on.

Steve, you can thank Crazie for that spelling, he elucidated me in that vagary.

Bonz,

don't take that criticism to heart. If those of us whose sense of humour is at a completely different level suppressed it where would the world be?

We wouldn't have Monty Python, The Simpsons, Daffy Duck, or several cracker campfire conversations I can remember.

On a convoy many years ago a call came over the radio asking for an explanation about some distinct lines through the overcast cloud above us. I didn't have a clue what caused it but I said they were isobars, lines joining areas of equal barometric pressure. You see them on the TV weather every night.

A laod of BS for sure but it sucked most of the convoy in and kept everyone entertained.

I assume that PeterD is a Discovery owner and was born in 1942.

The Defence rests.

The capture ratio is generally considered to be 13dB. If one signal is greater the other by 13dB you will only hear that one. If the signals are closerin amplitude you are likely to hear a heterodyne caused by the two signals (whistle) and bits of both audio signals as the result of incomplete capture.

PeterD

13db eh! can go far better than that, 13db would be a poor radio.

In convoy situations people at one end of the convoy often can not hear those at the other end particularly when there are 10 or more vehicles involved. Making a bald statement like that is nearly as unhelpful ar Bonz's smart comments above.
